Frijoles (Mexican Beans)

This recipe for Frijoles is simple and tastes much better than your average Mexican beans. Made with just five ingredients, including salt pork, our frijoles have that rich, soft, velvety texture and taste great as a side dish with grilled meat and poultry or as a filling for burritos, tacos, and quesadillas.

You can also serve with salsa on the side, or mix in chopped jalapeno or green chilies if a hotter flavor is desired. We most commonly mash the beans and spread on flour tortillas (as shown in photo). Sprinkle with minced onion or grated cheese or cooked meat, roll up, and eat.
